I just wanted to clarify one thing abou the current - and future - coupon chains.  On Friday I used the first coupon in the chain to buy an item over $5 at 10% off and then received the second coupon in the chain on Saturday.  Because I had just purchased a number of items using the 20% off Prime coupon and I was away from home and had very little time to put together an order, I simply ordered more than $16 of Prime club items from my Wishlist and applied the second coupon on the order, even though I knew that there would not be a discount on the prime items, because I wanted to validate the second coupon.  I have not received the third coupon, so I guess that in order for a coupon to be considered to have been used, there must be at least one non-Prime item in the order.  Is this spelled out anywhere, because I know that we can use Prime items to bring the total on our order up to the amount required by the coupon but I did not know that if an order  consisted solely of Prime items then applying a coupon would not count for it being used.
